[Intro] Dear Mat, You don't deserve to feel sorry for yourself. You did this to yourself. [Verse 1] You chose yourself... When you had it all. Don't you dare make excuses for yourself. Every excuse you've ever made is the reason the tears never stop. Who have you let yourself become? Somebody you said you'd never be. Somebody you'd look at with disgust and swear, "That'll never be me." [Pre-Chorus] Guess what? You're worse. Because you think you're so much better than them. You are nothing more than a shallow shell of who you thought you were. They're gone... And now you lay in the grave you dug. [Chorus] You say you loved them... Then why did you continue to choose yourself? You chose yourself... When you had it all. You say you loved them... Then why did you continue to choose yourself? [Verse 2] Yes, your mom died. But was that their fault? Did they deserve to pay the price for your problems? Your instability? Did she deserve to feel like she had to raise your son alone? "But I felt like I was there a lot..." Well, guess what? You weren't there enough. [Bridge] When she cried... Where were you? Getting high. When your son needed you... Where were you? Getting high. [Breakdown] And when you said, "I'll always be here if you need me..." where. the. fuck. were. you.. Getting. Fucking. HIGH [Final Chorus] You chose yourself... When you had it all. You say you loved them... Then why did you continue to choose yourself? You chose yourself... When you had it all. You say you loved them... Then why did you continue to choose yourself? [Verse 3] So don't you dare EVER feel sorry for yourself. That's exactly how you became the very person that hurts everyone you love. If I'm being honest, I don't think you deserve another chance. Because it's not a second or a third... I've fucking lost track of how many chances she gave you. She was so patient with you. She always tried to understand. Even when the pain was consuming her yet she still tried to heal your wounds made of selfishness and excuses. [Outro] Love them. And be there for them. Even if you two never speak again. That's for her to decide. The only thing you can do, is be there for who you say.. is your whole world... Then prove it.
